Motorola ATRIX 2 images and details revealed

BGR has just been given photos of the follow up to the original Motorola ATRIX 4G, the Motorola ATRIX 2, internally known as the Motorola Edison. The Motorola ATRIX 2 will not be an LTE device according to our source, though the phone will launch with a dual-core processor (either 1.2 or 1.5GHz TI OMAP, we’d assume), an 8-megapixel camera with 1080p HD video capture, and Android Gingerbread 2.3.5. We weren’t given a launch time-frame, though we’d expect the phone to touch down in the next few months, most likely around Thanksgiving. Check out all of the photos in our Motorola ATRIX 2 gallery!

I don’t think so??? . . . Hopefully? The real question is why no LTE? . . .But besides that THIS is WHY I keep coming back to BGR! . . . despite all the iNEWS . . . they are the EXCLUSIVE CHAMPION.

You wont see a true LTE phone for a while you must mean why no 4G

I’d link the article, but then this comment would never appear. The new Android policy for a device is that it has 18 months of updates to it. Any new devices coming out now will 100% get ICS as well as the next version of the OS. Most manufacturers will ship with gingerbread as they already know it and have it down pat. Once ICS is sourced out to OEM’s they do their tweaking and what have you then release the update to the carrier that either approves or denies it.

You can’t expect every new phone to ship with ICS, but they will get the update to it if their hardware permits it. PS: Don’t buy a shitty spec’d phone and expect to get all the latest and greatest. This would seem like common sense, but there are a lot of moronic people in this world.

Updates have almost no need for any specific hardware. My Nexus One still gets updates. And I’d like to see this new Android policy. I remember Andy Rubin talking about the “18 months of support”, but frankly, I’ve yet to see that. If its not a Nexus, I don’t trust it!

How many of the same phone does Android need already?

Same phone how?… explain

Not pushing the envelope in any way. Just adding a number or 4G to the name of a phone.

FFS I wasn’t speaking to you dude.

You’re right. This generation of phones feel almost exactly the same. From the Nexus One, Nexus S, Photon 4G, Bionic, Bionic DX7529123, Droid 1, 2, 3, etc. It feels like the same thing over and over… Clearly we need just phones with bigger sizes.

Oh wait; that’s Samsung. >_<

Not an LTE device? But why do I spy a nice 4G LTE logo??? Hmm makes me wonder, still a very good looking phone, can’t to find out more about

It can still say 4G even if it’s on AT&T’s pseudo-4G network. Probably just means that it’s attached to an HSPA+ network vs. normal HSPA.

I don’t see LTE slapped on there like there was on the Bionic. Don’t see it next to the 4G either like it was on the Bionic.

You’re completely wrong. It’s ridiculous that you’d post such rubbish. AT&T “4G” devices that are capable of HSPA+ have coverage indicators that say “H+.” This phone’s indicator says “4G,” which is how AT&T described their LTE phones would differentiate from HSPA+. Look on the screen. It says “4G.”

LTE phones say “LTE”. Just take a look at the HTC Holiday.

Until I see LTE on it, it’s their Faux-G.

Please show me anywhere on there it says LTE. I’ll be waiting.

My brother just got rid of his Atrix for a Samsung Focus (WP7) He likes it MUCH more than the Atrix, and has me wishing a good spec’d WP7 would hit VZW.

I just recently upgraded from the Omnia 7 to the Galaxy S II. The GSII rips the shit out of the Omnia.
WP7 hardware needs a nice spec bump on the next gen stuff to keep up.

Mmmm.. A dual-core WP7 device sounds amazing. I’ve had a few android handsets and it’s just not for me. Really enjoy iOS but wouldnt hesitate using a beefy spec’d WP7 device. (As long as build quality followed)

Anything Motorola = lag

I’m now on my atrix & love it appart from slow move to gingerbread in the uk.

Dear Google,

Now that you own Motorola, your first order of business is to dump MOTOBLUR.

That is all.

Personally, I would like to see the new GoogleBlur™ on all Android devices.
GoogleBlur™ integrates all of Google’s products into the Android OS, meaning the phone will come stock with integrated support for GTalk with Video within the Gmail application and support mobile to desktop Video Chats. Additionally, other Google products will be integrated within the stock ROM, i.e., Google+, Google Maps 3D with real-time satellite imaging, Google Shopper with a dedicated Google Transport button to take you to the store, etc; all possible but, only with Google.

with Bootloader locked nahhh

Bootstrap comes out for motorola devices pretty fast these days. Granted you cannot flash a new kernel, but you still can flash custom roms.

http://www.droiddoes.com/ Norm

Doesn’t sound all that open to me

http://twitter.com/GRZLA Grizzly Atoms

The Bootloader in a device has nothing to do with Android. It is 100% the manufacturer. Your troll game is getting weak Norm.

I noticed something about you and your stupidity everything someone says “Your troll game is getting weak” step your dam game up you punch line is dry i think it need Gatorade

With specs as noted this is too early for a follow up device, it only serves to piss off anyone who bought the first one.

Talking about yourself again? You’re the worst troll of all, yet I see you calling everyone here trolls all the time. So lame.

too soon. The Atrix Just came to Europe a week ago!

Good job BGR.

I thought 2.3.5 was only for NexusS4G.

Nice looking phone.

What’s the point?

Surprised BGR didn’t call this a “hands on with the Atrix 2” clearly these fools don’t know the difference between hands on and a brief overview

Manwonder

I love my Atrix. The 2 doesn’t seem all that different from the 1st. But at least they got rid of the finger print scanner. It was a cool idea but still takes a 2-3 swipes to unlock.

I was going to ask if this was for AT&T, then I caught a glimpse of the screenshot showing “Connect with Wi-Fi”, therefore, must be AT&T bound. *sad face*

Why the f… can’t they make this for T-Mobile?

I find most of these new phones very unoriginal and boring to be very honest and I’m not really a fan where things are going, which seems to be the tablet route; just a screen and no physical buttons of any kind. No external innovation just minor hardware tweaks. Btw, does anyone actually like these soft-touch buttons? I have them on my Nexus One and they are more of an annoyance than anything else, because of accidentally hitting them while typing.
